Our Fourth of July weekend started on July 3. We all loaded up and went over the mountains to Talihina to run in the 5k event at â€śBoom in the Valleyâ€ť at the Choctaw Nation Hospital. There were 477 runners. I made it to the finish line in 33:31, and that was a great time for me since it was very hot.

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July like we did. I pulled Cash around on the tube at Wister Lake for a couple of hours, then we headed to Glenn and Cheryl Sissonâ€™s house. They had a redneck water slide set up that went down a hill in their field and ended in a big hole. Huge tarps went the whole length of the â€śslide,â€ť and even down in the hole so the kids landed in a pool of water. With the addition of a big sprinkler on a fence post and with some baby oil, fun times were sure to follow! The kids slid down that thing for hours.
